The word “organic” sounds like it should already be kind to the planet and animals. But here’s the thing many don’t realise: most organic farming still uses animal products such as manure, bonemeal, and fishmeal to fertilise crops.
That means even your organic carrots might have a little more connection to animal agriculture than you’d like.
That’s where veganic growing comes in. Sometimes called stockfree or vegan organic, this method takes the animals out of the process completely. Instead of bloodmeal or manure, veganic growers use compost made from plants, cover crops, hay, clover, and other local plant materials to enrich the soil. The result is food that’s grown in harmony with nature and free from the hidden ties to animal exploitation.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to grow your own food in a fully plant-based way, there’s a brilliant opportunity coming up.
